About Blood And Honour

The Kingdom of Jerusalem is no more. The Sultan of Damascus and Egypt, Salah eh Din, has destroyed Guy d’Lusignan’s army on the Horns of Hattin. Jerusalem has surrendered and only Tyre remains in the hands of the Crusaders.Every day, eyes turn to the west for support but the armies of Christendom are not forthcoming. The Franks of Outremer are alone, surrounded by a victorious foe. Amidst the confusion and desolation, Honfroy of Toron searches for his wife and son. He soon discovers that the old allegiances have changed. With his lands held by his enemies the Lord of Toron is penniless and without friends. He has only a sword, a horse and his own cunning at his disposal. The newly arrived Conrad of Montferrat holds the port of Tyre, but Salah eh Din is preparing his forces to throw the remaining Franks into the sea. Honfroy must prove himself to the self-serving marquis in the forthcoming battle. Blood and Honour continues the Chronicles of Outremer as Honfroy is divided in his loyalties between the disgraced King Guy of Jerusalem and the resourceful but ruthless Marquis of Montferrat. The struggle for power continues even when the Kings of England and France finally arrive on the shores of Outremer. It is the powerful Richard Coeur d’Lion who drives the Christian army against Salah eh Din, to clash finally at the Battle of Arsuf. Honfroy’s star is inextricably linked to that of the charismatic King of the English.Treachery and blood abound as the fourth Outremer Chronicle documents the fight against annihilation on the sands of the Holy Land.
